Marie Tisi, Secretary of this very unique and happy club wants every current, or former phone company employee to know that they are welcome to join them every month. Their group meets on the first Wednesday of the month. The organization began around 25 years ago, back when Ma Bell was still around and making connections.

They used to meet at Castle Harbor in The Bronx, but now get together at various locations throughout the area. Today, these delightful individuals met a JP's Restaurant on City Island.

There is way too much dis-courteousness, impoliteness, rudeness, surliness, and certainly not enough graciousness in our daily lives. We all should and must make an effort to rejuvenate and restore our personal civility and therefore have greater influence on global affairs.

On 11/11/11. make an effort to start loving yourself more, as well as your family and friends, your neighbors, your block, your neighborhood, your community, your country and OUR PLANET.

Reach out to your family, friends and representatives asking them to please spread the good word.
